No no no, cruise missiles are baby seeking vacuum bombs!

People around here question the veracity of American media, but are A-OK citing *Pravda* for God's sake?

You wanna know what’s going on in a foreign country? Read their news not Fox News/cnn/msnbc.

Our news stations just repackage whatever is coming out on foreign press with a favorable spin 12 hours after the original foreign reports.

Yeah, Pravda has such a long history of not being biased and not being a commie government run "news" organization.

Report: Russian Soldiers Shooting Themselves in Legs to Avoid Fighting

Invading Russian forces have become so demoralized that they are shooting themselves in the legs with Ukrainian ammunition to avoid further fighting, the U.S. Sun is reporting.

That sounds like a load of made up nonsense.

To be fair it's also true if you want to know what's going on in the US. Avoid CNN and Fox and watch the BBC.

I think people believe what they want to believe. You can get an idea of someone’s political leanings just based on where they get their news.

As far as Ukraine goes. Propaganda is definitely in play with both sides. It’s not something new.

That's hilarious. Sanctions no, but bullets and Javelins seem to be working just fine.

When they can just walk off and steal some clothes, shooting themselves with no hope of getting medical aid would be awfully stupid.

Sometimes you have to temper the BS purely by what's sane and what's insane.

What makes you think they would get no medical aid?

There are plenty of reports of (I forgot what they call them) forward operating bases?/aid stations being set up both in Russia/Belarus and behind the advancing troops.

Here is one such report.

Maybe 38% think Putin is bluffing.

Maybe. Democrats aren't far behind their numbers.

It's just disappointing. I had hoped by now more Republicans had wised up to how fake the Russia Bad Cold War 2.0 crap is. Especially having, you know, spent the last two decades watching their sons die and get maimed in craphole countries like Iraq and Afghan while many of the same lying, duplicitous politicians who are still in power right now insisted over and over that everything was fine.

I am not really sure how to respond to that. I agree with some of it. If it’s any comfort (it probably shouldn’t be) Russia has reportedly lost more troops in the past 3 weeks than we did in the past 20 years.
